Someone mysteriously removed 19,000 ducats from the SA coffer before Drake's raid
Pedro Redondo Villegas had secret information that someone had removed 19,000 ducats from the treasure chest just before Drake captured it, and this may have been true. A member of the English raiding party wrote that the coffer he saw had already been broken open and ransacked. [Note 94: Cedula to Pedro Redondo Villegas 11/14/1600. The acting officials in 1586 were Alonso Sanchez Saez, Juan de Junco, and Bartolome de Arguelles. Their report on the raid is in 6/17/1586.]
